Ketchum Release

Fish saver. Our breakout product in the fly fishing industry, years ago, we thought: "There's got to be a better way to remove a delicately-tied fly from a hooked fish than the hoisting, clamping, and wrenching process now on display." So we created a simply innovative tool capable of reducing fish mortality by eliminating netting and handling--then named it after our home-base of Ketchum, Idaho. This technique will preserve protective coatings and eliminate air exposure. The Ketchum Release® tool makes low-mortality release easy, plus allows you to retrieve your fly without damage. It even keeps your hands high and dry. The Ketchum Release® is available in three sizes.

Big Bug for hook sizes 6-10 (Green Handle)
Standard for sizes 12-16 (Black Handle)
Midge for sizes 18-22 (Blue Handle).
